8/4 A cache full of undelivered mail from the Fourth of July weekend
when soda was down was just discovered and delivered early Sunday
morning. If you get way old mail, that's probably why. Sorry about
the delay - the sendmail.cf on scotch has been fixed so this
hopefully will not happen again. -alanc-

8/7 All the 'free danh' ascii shit deleted. it's that kind of figlet
abuse on walls that gets him squished. don't be fucking stupid,
you mindless danh minions.
\_ All anti-danh factions are hereby reminded that sometimes
laxatives _DO_ help
\_ i did not write that. fuck you forging fuckers. -lila

8/7 What's a better gift for the first date, single long stem rose
or cute little teddy bear?
\_ SAP ALERT
\_ A chainsaw! Either red, or yellow, your choice.
\_ This had better be a good first date. Please don't write on
the motd next -- "She stood me up. What should I do?"
\_ if she's under 18, definitely teddy bear. If over 23, definitely
rose. Somewhere between is hard to choose.
\_ Would a bouquet overdo it?
\_ MAKE SURE IT'S A YELLOW ROSE ON THE FIRST DATE
(don't ask me why, I've just been told that yellow
is the right choice) - jed
\_ Yellow == friendship, Red == love, Purple == ????
\_ no no don't get a yellow rose - yellow stands for sickness
as well, and is more accepted as a color for get-well-wishes
and such. i'd avoid the teddy bear- too cutesy & high school.
\_ Yellow also means infidelity.
\_ White means friendship, dumb ass.
\_ do _not_ buy a yellow rose. it means loss of love or
infidelity. do _not_ buy a white rose. it means
friendship, which is not the right sentiment for
a date. do _not_ buy a red rose, because it means
passionate love, which is premature on a first date.
do _not_ buy a teddy bear, because that's really corny.
do _not_ go to a formal restaurant for dinner on a first date,
because that's too tense. save the gifts and formal
stuph for later, when real feelings have had time to
develop. if you must bring a gift, make sure it's
small, and refers in a humorous way to how you
met her or something else unique about her. -hh
\_ carpooling...think about it
\_ a teddy bear for a first date? I'd say go for the rose, it'll
make her feel less "under pressure." And I'd go for the pink
rose - pink means "attraction" (less direct than the red rose).
\_ Dewd/dewdette don't worry about it. Just be yourself and enjoy
the date.
\_ A Mum means Hope. - http://www.pressenter.com/~rose/meaning.htm
\_ I think purple roses look the best
\_ How about a black rose?
\-giver her a black lotus. if she doesnt play magic and
realize what you've given her, then dump her. --psb
\_ Don't give him/her a rose. It makes you too predictable and
boring. You wanna look cool. Treat him/her to dinner,
and give a box of gummy worms (teddy bears too, if you
want to be a sap).
Don't give gummy salamanders though. It signifies
desperate sex. --pcjr
\_ I'd prefer a bullwhip. or a switchblade. I suppose if the date
consisted of shooting holes in the teddy bear, that too would
be acceptable. -ray
\_ I don't give gift on first date; that is so passe. - choice
\_ Yeah, first date, so passe man. Why don't you skip all that
and go straight to the hysterical breakup scenes? Get with it. -pvg
\_ Don't knock Origami flowers. Always a good choice
\_ Why? You fucking lose in the end any which way.
\_ What's a difference between "going out" and a "date"?
\_ ZERO TOLERANCE!!!!!
\_ OH MAN, I REALLY AM GOING TO EXERT SOME SELF-CONTROL --chris
\_ not enough to shut up, apparently.
\_ Don't you dumbfucks know anything? (except psb who had a good
idea.) Bring condoms. If she doesn't play and realize what
you've given her, then dump her. --psb fan

8/5 Anyone ever been to "Acres of Orchids"? Is it a good place to visit?
THanks for any info. - turin

nurseries grow the orchids they sell. it's way neat. -ray
